Wasn't a big deal in retrospect, but the pucker facto was there, the Flaps Zero approach felt kinda awkward, I couldn't help but notice the what seemed like a dozen or Firetrucks waiting for us down the end of the RWY The whole approach seemed low, flat and fast, but all in all pretty good experience, anybody remember their first emergency?
Imagine what a flaps zero landing looks like in the CRJ.
